The Applejack is to try a Corpse Reviver #1. The others are for whatever moves the "spirit."

Needed a white rum for classic daquiris. Really nothing interesting in the silver category at the Publix Liquors, so I went with a Cape Coral distiller in a $19 bottle. There were several dark rums there that I'd like to try, especially Papi's Pilar. Next time. There was also a bottle of Sazerac Rye for $30, so Sazerac Friday is about to make a comeback!
Man I wish I could find that Sazerac Rye around here. I would really like to give it a try.Needed a white rum for classic daquiris.

Why is it difficult to obtain there, do you think? It's distilled one state north (I'm sure you know!).

Found that^^ interesting. Cliff notes: 1) Low rye straight rye whisky at 51% rye 2) There is a Sazerac 18 that isn't distilled at Buffalo Trace, but will be soon 3) GOOD STUFF for under $40 a bottle!

I'm sure it is because the stores that I frequent have distributors the don't handle it. The search will continue!
Good luck in the journey!

First time I have found this in quite a while. An old favourite.
Got me another bottle of Buffalo Trace. I think this is my favorite mixing bourbon.
I've been looking for a rum other than Bacardi to mix daiquiris with. Thought i would try this out.

My first mail order for alcohol. I'm not use to a courier driver handing be a box of scotch at 10:00am.
I, unfortunately, was used to that! But those days are now over 31 years in my past.
I'm glad that it was not part of my youth but a trip to the bottle store was never far away.
Now with the online stores, the variety available is much better. Not to mention it was cheaper than what I could drive to and pick up.
I've just reread my post and realized it could be construed to mean something I did not intend. I would still be drinking ETOH once in a while if I could, I just never could. So please don't think I was judging. If I thought it was worth trying I would try to drink in moderation. Some days I might be able to. But I never was able to youth, so I guess I should trust my history, lol.
All good mate, I did not think you where judging at all.
I was a heavy drinker in my youth. I once flatted with a manager of a bottle store and a sales rep for a alcohol distributor.
The amount of drink flowing in that flat was dangerous. They said I drank more than them. Home delivery was if you wanted it or not.
Now I only have a drink on the odd occasion, all within moderation.
Havana Club Anejo Blanco
White Puerto Rican Rum made by Bacardi. "Based on a recipe created in Cuba", according to the label. Sippable out of the bottle, good flavor, slightly sweet. Not exactly Cuban, but not the normal Bacardi firewater either.
